Exactly! Classic FOREVER. Beat is riding... I Listen to this Every time I do serious cleaning, I dont have to look any further- my children know they better get up and join in lol!
@ Sunset*Breeze: It’s how he carried himself on stage and his strong confidence and charisma as well as dressing well. My dad was 6’4”, and he passed away in 2000 at age 57. Heart attack. How I compare him and my father is something that is hard to explain. Possibly same generation or close? Thanks for the reply sir!
100% it absolutely did. The Golden era of hip hop!! Real talk /reality rap, When rappers had it on lock …. None of this candy rap, flop ass rappers,with that wangsta bs!! The new era, Fake Life Shit! Horrible!
A few years ago, I ran into my auntie in the neighborhood hole-in-the-wall. She said this was her favorite song a and rushed to the dance floor to dance. I liked what I heard and didn't know the name of the song. Today I heard the song playing and IMMEDIATELY recognized it. (I been looking for this song since that day). Unfortunately, my auntie passed last year. I miss and love you auntie Pam. I hope you're dancing up there.
Aunt Pam is up there dancing, and watching over you until it's time to meet again! God speed to your aunt no matter your religion or faith I believe we are all spiritual beings and this is just a short ride in the grand scheme on this little rock we call earth and life as we know it is just our spirits experiencing the human experience. You'll meet again and know she's happy watching down over you and seeing you feel and experience one of her favorite songs. Guarantee she's smiling and living vicariously through you every time you rock this song or dance or share it with others! Much love and my sincere condolences 🙏 god speed auntie Pam! ❤
Handsome as he was then ; iam sure he had no trouble getting layed Aretha Franklin say it's the best she every had!! Just the thought rest n ☮️ peace cold blooded one!!
@@Dragn22222 A hundred times better than the shitty version they play on the radio now (aka "Too Cool To Be Careless" by Pawsa). Even the M People version was better than that garbage.
Met my husband in 1988 and he introduced me to all this music.❤ He passed 3 years ago but when i listen to the music i feel his presence. RIP my love❤❤
I googled this lady name. And to my shock. Ms. Siedah Garrett wrote my favorite song that's gives me chills with emotions through my body for Michael Jackson "Man in the Mirror!" You are forever a queen with great talent. I read your story on how it came about. God is good. Thank you for writing such a masterpiece. I wish the world would listen and get it together while we still have time.
@@mmatthews4605 his jaw is moving like crazy before the music even starts. Maybe you weren't raised around that type of stuff, but I was. I know the signs
This man has skills. Chewing gum, remembering his words through intoxication (of God knows what) and still bring them vocals. God given talent at its finest
Dennis Edwards was in a class all by himself..in a good way! This video has been watched and imitated by so many! A KILLER Rhythm background Best on the internet! Siedah Garrett is just so cute in this! 2024! RIPDennis
This is a masterpiece of the great Dennis Edwards....may he rest in peace! Not sure if he was high or not....doesn't matter....(many people have habits not good for them) Still listening in 2024..should be asleep, but came across this and had to have a listen......brings back memories of Dennis's other great songs.."A song for you" and Memories.. 1972 album...I may be wrong. ...Soo many memories from that year. Miss you Dennis Edwards, may you have rest and peace in heaven.💔💔💔
My dad used to play this all the time growing up and when he passed in July my brothers and I all sat by the fire and played this song and none of us ever realized what this song was about so we all just laughed because we just remembered jamming to this song 😂 RIP dad we love and miss you tremendously
I never noticed the nasty move from Edward at 2:33. He even looked behind the camera for that one 😅😅 Love this song!. Eric B & Rakim took this sample for "Paid in full".
Nice & smooth classic. Rappers are still paying royalties for the sample of this song between $100,000 to $150,000. Song is over 30 years old and still bringing those royalties. Lol. 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Benjamin haden , this is so tongue in cheek (pun intended lol!) This song has sooo many hidden messages & it's an anthem to crack in a wink wink kind of way!! If you know, you know, which makes it all the more ironic lol!!
Siedah is one of the great songwriters and recognizable singing voices. She worked with Michael, Quincy Jones, Dreamgirls soundtrack, helped Madonna by singing backup on her early music… I hope she received/is receiving all her props and all of her remuneration.
Siedah Garrett is a super producer, singer song writer. She wrote a lot of the song in the Dream Girls movie. She has worked and helped a lot of people be come super stars. She is amazing Dennis was once a member of the Temptations drugs messed up his life. Gone but not forgotten. R. I. P. Mr. Edwards
RIP Dennis! Not only is this one of the most iconic instrumentals ever (it's been sampled in hip-hop COUNTLESS times), this video also gave us a great meme with that first "whoooooooooa"!
2025 who still here jamming it. The best music comes from a tree that can't be damaged no matter what. When music was actually Music🪕🎙️🎧🎵🎶🎷🎸🎹🎺🎻🎼 #True Legends 👍
R.I.P Dennis Edwards thanks for this masterpiece of a banger, listening to this song evokes memories of my childhood.In November 2024, we still here and going nowhere because as you aptly put it, DONT LOOK ANY FURTHER ❤
I believe that's Paul Jackson, Jr. on the bass. He's mainly known for his session guitar work (i.e. on Michael Jackson albums), but he's a killer bass player. I use to think it was Doug Wimbush or T.M. Stevens, because they were the "go to" session bass players, during this period...especially in NYC.
I caught a flight with Dennis from Heathrow to Dubai when I used to be road manager for Scherrie & Lynda's SUPREMES and we were touring once again with Dennis' Temptations Revue and James Brown. Dennis truly was a lovely, gentle man. We did other shows across Germany, Holland and other parts of the Emirates. I've got some GREAT memories of those days, frever!
Back when this video came out, they didn't know what to make of it, so they described it as "awesomely terrible". Well I like me some awesome terribles!
+MsFarzee No lie, I was bumpin' this loud on the way home from work. Somebody had Future playing loud at the stoplight, turned their shit down and started bobbing their head to this.
Arguably one of the greatest R&B tracks of all time, and was sampled to create two of the greatest HipHop tracks of all time... (Hit Em Up and Paid In Full) absolute masterpiece.
Summertime in 1984, me and neighbor, Ms. Rita Walker, used to love this record! Though we'd later stop speaking to one another a few years later, today I have to reminisce about that year: Here & now (40+ yrs today), The Lord has both me and Rita: she's a 50+ year old grandmother, and I'm a 57 yr old black stubborn man!!
Definitely crack. They hooked entertainers on drugs to introduce them to supreme puppethood. Doing anything for the rock = perfect employees... nobody called out the executives just shaming the victims.
Might be one of the best beats ever made in history of music
Pac used it to diss biggie
3 different legitimate hits besides this one
Pac used it because Junior Mafia used it in one their songs.
For sure. Several hits came from sampling this beat.
paid in full by eric b and rakim is straight 🔥

I caught a flight with Dennis from Heathrow to Dubai when I used to be road manager for Scherrie & Lynda's SUPREMES and we were touring once again with Dennis' Temptations Revue and James Brown. Dennis truly was a lovely, gentle man. We did other shows across Germany, Holland and other parts of the Emirates. I've got some GREAT memories of those days, frever!
Steve Weaver that's so cool!
Serendipity at its zenith
Steve Weaver Thank you for sharing your lovely story.
Steve Weaver damn your old
what a god damn funky bassline
This video is so iconic and perfect.
Definitely 💯
A man, a lady, a green screen and good music. Back when that was all they needed to make a video.
And the male didn't dress like a homeless thug or fresh out of jail, and the women actually wore clothes and had some class
Thomas Canolio Music Yeah and a big ass bag of coke 😂😂😂
lol Can't forget the Coke now!
Back when this video came out, they didn't know what to make of it, so they described it as "awesomely terrible". Well I like me some awesome terribles!
Ford Falcon So true. Quality music, quality artists.
Some of the world’s greatest hits were made while under the influence of something believe that !!! ❤️
Comedians, musicians, painters, philosophers, writers, etc, the best inspiration has always come from using substances to tap into the universe.
95 percent of P-Funk stuff too
So was Calculus
Agreed
@@AB-si4bg As a math and music freak, you have me cracking out😆 🤣 😂
I love coming back here every couple of weeks just to read the comments.
Me too 😊🙃
Same 😂 😉✌️🫶
Me too I listen to this song every week
😂😂😂😂❤

I swear this my shiiii!!!!
Siedah Garrett is spectacular, she has sung and can sing with the best of them.
Yes!
I just realized who she is, definitely can sing with the best she sung with Michael Jackson. I just can't stop loving you ❤❤
@@TheDivaTube she also wrote Man in the mirror. She only wanted Michael to record it.
And she still looks amazing in 2023
She was good with the brand new heavies.
Cocaine, thanks for all the great music from the 70-80s
WRONG my little silly unknowing child.
It's for real.
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
You know that biddy... Awesome ✊
😂😂😂
That Booga Suga.
This song will never get old.
It's almost 40 years old lol
If it wasn't for hip hop sampling this, I never would have known about this classic.
I totally agree. I love it. ❤ 💯🎵🎼🎶
@@gregcampbell3052 Lol, I mean as far as listening to it.
@@mac1bc Sam'e as me
❤ over 40 years old and aging better than fine wine 🍷
Pure 80s! One of the best musical periods there ever will be.
cryo shock hell nawwww the 70’s. The 80’s was weird and fake.
@@calicojones7727 you must be 3 years old
And the cocaine too
Hell yeah! The 80's.... They was just figuring out the videos though.
@AsiatikBlakMan 1 I don't see any point in mixing up a love song with politics.
This is "Black" music...this era is gone but it is nice to visit.
+MsFarzee This still bumps so hard. Wow!! Music at it's finest
not gone will come back is our dna
+MsFarzee You are absolutely right! this era is GONE! Its all trash now...
+MsFarzee No lie, I was bumpin' this loud on the way home from work. Somebody had Future playing loud at the stoplight, turned their shit down and started bobbing their head to this.
+MsFarzee , the gr8 thing about it is we can keep listening to these timeless classics over & over again
Arguably one of the greatest R&B tracks of all time, and was sampled to create two of the greatest HipHop tracks of all time... (Hit Em Up and Paid In Full) absolute masterpiece.
Don’t forget Big Tymers Way of Life
Hit em up copied Get Money by Junior Mafia and Get Money sampled this.
2Pac turned a smooth R&B song into a hard diss track. This is talent
What about 2 million up by peezy
Nate Dogg.... The song "there she goes" - when he goes "hey ho, hey ho, now that i found you....i won't look any further, further" dope jam
They don't make songs like this anymore !!! A gem .
That's true
Classic
They just sample them now..
The problem is that they don’t make Coke like that anymore😂
Listen to Breakbot or JMSN
Wish I had this man’s confidence.
Coke. 😁
Get some white under your nose 😂
It's because of the generation
Charlie
Ya simpley chewing gum and rocking a goatee beard
How does this classic piece of work not have hundreds of millions of views?!
Hit ‘em up overshadows this song? Over billion people heard Hit ‘em up 😂
They don't know what real music is about!
@@miltonhenderson38 all due respect this music crab. The instrumental saves it at least the 2pac made a hit out of it
This gyal plays this all the time 😂1980s child🎉
Bc they don't count repeat views😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍
Summertime in 1984, me and neighbor, Ms. Rita Walker, used to love this record! Though we'd later stop speaking to one another a few years later, today I have to reminisce about that year: Here & now (40+ yrs today), The Lord has both me and Rita: she's a 50+ year old grandmother, and I'm a 57 yr old black stubborn man!!
Just amazing ! 🔥❤
2019 who's with me.
mCgoober me from my Hometown Monterrey, MÉXICO 🇲🇽.
September 2019
@mCgoober right her🙋🏽♀️
Dude chewed bubble gum, danced, sang & got felt up at one time & stayed on beat 😂😂😂😂😂 R.I.P
That's not gum he's chewing. He's got coke jaw. o_O
🤣
wasn't bubble gum
Definitely crack. They hooked entertainers on drugs to introduce them to supreme puppethood. Doing anything for the rock = perfect employees... nobody called out the executives just shaming the victims.
go away , it's amazing
This woman is so talented, wrote songs for Michael Jackson and so many others
I never knewww 😮
Even madonna,actually she wrote most of her songs
Can u give us a few songs she made for them👍🏽
Her name please ?
